Great campsite. Small. On the non-glamping side the sites are small, but spread out enough to offer some privacy. Even though it lies next to the highway, theres not a lot of traffic noise. Be prepared to climb some stairs/hill to get from the street to the sites. Access to the lake is limited, and more suited towards launching kayaks and SUPs than swimming. Generally quiet. My only complaint is that the camp hosts had a dog that barked and barked and barked. My first full day at the camp was marred by their dog barking non-stop for three hours, until we decided to find a trail to hike. AT&T had some service, enough for basic texting, social media (not posting), and slow web surfing. I could not send or upload photos.

What a gem of a campground! We went during an exceedingly hot time, which was a bit more work to endure but the campsite was lovely, the water sources were ample, cold and refreshing. Also, the camp host and her family are super friendly and kindly provided a great supply of firewood, which was excellent for keeping bugs away in the evenings. The fire pit was cleaned out, very well set up, and easy to use. The toilets were very clean, which was awesome. My only constructive feedback is that the waterfront was quite a bit of a walk. The permanent tent structures at the waterfront access were the only ones who got to enjoy easy access. We had an inflatable paddle board and it was quite a walk to the access point. Also, it felt a bit strange walking through others campsites to get to the waterfront. It would be wonderful if they created 1-2 other ways that us old fashioned tent campers could go enjoy the waterfront in a shared space. That said, it was a pretty nice experience all around.
